February 2013 Beauty Favorites!

9:30 AM

Hey guys, I wanted to update you with this past month's beauty favorites before it got too late! Don't mind me, I'm just recording my way through the sickness thing. I edited out any coughs for you so I shouldn't be contagious through the screen. ;)

Thank you guys so much for your patience, well-wishes & tips for getting better on Twitter! I am starting to feel more energized as a whole (can't wait for this cough to be gone completely!) so I hope to bring you guys lots of more reviews and tutorials soon. :)

In the meantime, let me know in the comments: What types of videos would you like to see this month? Any advice on kicking a cough in the butt for good?

Hi Jen! Have you tried the Real Techniques brushes? They're awesome...super affordable and the softest brushes I've found so far that doesn't shed. :) Ulta's having a BOGO 50 off right now too for them.

Coughs are always the last to go unfortunately...this homemade cough remedy helped me a lot before if you'd like to try it out:

For your cough, you can try chicken soup -- it helps you stay hydrated, improves your immunity, provides antioxidants that your body needs to fight viruses/bacteria, helps clear mucus from your system, and reduces inflammation. Or you can suck on cloves, which is a spice. Not many people like this, but you can add garlic in some of your foods. Ginger and honey work well, too. You can add those in chamomile tea (anti-inflammatory). Try to avoid certain things that aggravate coughs until you get better; such as, alcohol, acidic foods, high fat foods, sugary foods, and dairy products, etc. I hope this helps! Get well soon.

The Clinique Chubby Stick Intense - Curviest Caramel looks so amazing! :) Have been in search of a good brow kit for my sparse eyebrows! Maybe do a review on eyebrow kit/pencil or anything about eyebrows!? :D

Hi Jen! I'd like to see a less eyeshadow focused makeup look and more on eyelashes. I really like AKB48's makeup (esp the ones wearing droopy looking lower lashes) in Sugar Rush PV (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxkken_akb48-sugar-rush-yyyy-yyyy-pv_music) but I kinda fail at lower lashes so I'd love if you did a tutorial. Thanks! (I posted comment on one of your videos but not sure if you've seen it)

Hi JenYour blog is absolutely sensational! I adore the layout, and your content is great :)You sound so lovely and down to earth. I love the nail polish you are wearing in the video, its really pretty.I read someones comment above that recommends hot cola... never heard that one, but hot lemonade always works a treat for me when im sick.

Hi Jen! Hope you get well soon :)I got the LORAC palatte as a birthday present and have been wanting to exchange it for the Urban Decay Naked because the Naked was so highly recommended by you. And due to budget reasons I'd rather have only one neutrals palatte. I'm so glad you recommended LORAC here because now I can justify keeping it :P I would really appreciate a tutorial of the LORAC palatte from you <3

Jen...if it's possible I would love to see the trick of how to take off those glitter nail polishes! I've been wanting to get more glitter nail polish, but the torture of taking it off still haunted me! One time my nail polish chipped and it took me literally 20 minutes to take off 2 nails! I almost late for work so I decided to repaint all of them!!!! :C.

Jen, you inspire me. I'm from Brazil and here make-up is SOOO EXPENSIVE. For exemple, an Urban decay Eyeshadow Primer here costs the equivalent of $ 54 dollars. I'm asian too and here is very dificult to find the right color for my skin as well.Thanks for helping me to get more self confident.
